NHL PLAYOFF PREVIEW: New Jersey at Philadelphia

THE STORY: The Philadelphia Flyers face elimination in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night - and they'll have to make do without their top player. Forward Claude Giroux was given a one-game suspension for hitting Devils forward Dainius Zubrus in the head during second-period action in Game 4. Giroux has been far and away the best player in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and his absence will make an already difficult task even more daunting.
